(on it's side) The box is a little taller but slimmer so to speak. It's heavier than the 2010 Unicron box and comes with a black handle on top that almost makes me wish I was carrying him home from the shop instead of getting him delivered from Red Mercury here in Japan!

I just got mine in the mail yesterday and that is one seriously cool box. I don't know how much longer I can wait before opening it!
Thank you Takara Tomy for re-releasing this guy - what a great choice for a reissue.

I'm SO glad I waited just in case he would come out again and didn't waste $200 on the last boxed reissue when I say it in Mandarake in Akihabara (Tokyo) last year)

For the record, I think they should have done more to change his paint job as he has the orange and red look to similar.
The gold paint looks superb but he really needs some more yellow as well to break up the orange and red.

And that is one small sword! Think I'll display him without it, would be tempted to buy the crazy devy one but it's a bit pricey and If I hadn't seen Optibotimus's review of the gold wings I might have been tempted to pep him up with those too.

Predaking rules! For everyone who's getting him for Christmas or in your Piles of Loot if you didn't know it already then you're in for a treat

Am I the only one who thinks the Gold (atleast in the pictures) looks kinda cheap and tacky?

Prefer the original Yellow version.

Sweet!

I always love seeing new and reissued combiners...just in case you couldn't work it out from my username!

Reissued combiners are great, although it would be nice if they reissue something different other than the same ones over and over again.

Like Magnaboss and Tripredacus. I think it'd be great to see those reissued.

Of course, maybe some teams could be reimagined instead of reissued, and some of the old combiners have been reimagined already as PCCs, such as the Aerialbots, Stunticons, Protectobots, Combaticons, Dinobots and Constructicons. Hopefully we see reimaginings of other teams such as the Technobots and Terrorcons, as well as Magnaboss and Predaking as a new version of combining Maximals and Predacons, respectively.

After a rumour I heard recently. I think we've got as good a chance as ever of Devastator being the next one they bring out.

With his involvement in the movie Superion would be as likely as any too.

Have to be honest, if a combiner/gestalt was obscure back in G1 then there is about a 0% chance of it ever being re-issued.

They are only going to re-issue the popular characters. We may have had some luck in recent years with the Encore line in particular giving us some nice surprises but we have to be realistic. There's no point in raising your hopes for something that is never going to happen.

My most wanted G1 reissue is Shockwave. He's a leader class character and I know I'll still be extremely lucky if he ever gets brought out again despite being in the new movie and being so popular.

Sorry, not trying to pour cold water on people's hopes but beyond Menasor, Superion, Technobots, Protectobots I think we'd be more than incredibly lucky.

Very nice pics, these are the first detailed pics I've seen of it. I can't wait for mine to ship.

Looks damn beautiful. It's just the gold that kind of turns me off with the figure.
